Quite a read...Time was you couldn't walk any sidewalk without passing a WWII Veteran. Now they are fading fast. We owe them much.
Cindy & I still trek to Salem Oregon's cue ball on Thursdays to play pool. Why Thursday? Because that was the day Don Malarkey could be found there, usually playing "golf" with the guys at the snooker table. He of "Easy Company" fame..when dawn broke on D-day, he was already in France.
Don left us in 2017, but there is still a memorial of sorts on the wall overlooking the snooker table. Cindy & I, and the pool hall regulars all miss talking with him. He's often a topic of conversation.
